Quote of the Day

Today's quote of the day comes from a reader comment left on Carl Zimmer's most excellent science blog The Loom:

FoxNews is singular among news organizations in that it has a 'junk science' section, but no science section.

Sadly, the quote is also untrue*...If you scroll down** far enough (a good 1500-2000 pixels or so on my new 1680x1050 display), you'll find Fox News's "Science" section...However, the Science section is marked "new", while Fox News has been posting Steven Milloy's "Junk Science" bat guano for years now.

*Sadly, a lot of great quotes are probably on the shady side of true. For example, can we really say that the only traditions of the Royal Navy are "rum, sodomy, and the lash"?

**As one of my CS professors likes to say "people don't scroll".
